Yes, you may purchase vials from the same donor directly from the sperm bank, to use for a future sibling. If you would like to store your sperm vials on-site at ORM, you must be an established ORM patient receiving treatment and having your IUI done with an ORM provider. To store vials, there is an annual storage fee of $557. Alternatively, you can contact your sperm bank of choice and purchase additional vials to be stored at the sperm bank. If you would like to ship the vials somewhere else, you will be responsible for shipping fees.

It is very important that you report your pregnancy to the sperm bank if you became pregnant with sperm from one of their donors. The bank uses these reports to limit the number of families per donor in a certain area.

You are welcome to purchase sperm from any sperm bank you wish. In addition to Seattle Sperm Bank, many of our patients have also worked with California Cryobank, Fairfax Cryobank, and XYTEX.
